Fake club?

[Faxe99]

Was looking at purchasing a 460cc clubs and found this one for $20...I just read that these models do have fakes and if anyone with an expert eye could help me I would greatly appreciate it thanks

Just curious..$20...who cares?

Let me think...waste my time going around town to buy a club that disintegrates after a few rips when I could have put a meal on the table for my family or had a few pints on monday night football with some friends...Sorry we cannot all burn currency like its the holocaust...fool

Actually I had enough of this forum...over-saturated with grumpy folks...no class. This will be my last post.

Can't really tell from the photos, it does look to be a several years old model and that is probably why it was only $20. If you hit it good and enjoy having it in your bag then you should keep it, thats my opinion anyway. Good luck.

Probably best. If you’re gonna have concern that spending $20 on golf may have robbed your family of food or beer with your friends ...golf ain’t for you.

It’s 10-11 years old. Came out in 2007 roughly but assuming original shaft is on it....Callaway or not...can’t expect it to be an amazing peice of equipment regardless of its authenticity.

I bought it and I can bomb it 270 consistently...Thats fine for me on any course lol. I emailed Callaway anyways with the code just to be sure. Thanks to all with legitimate replies!

Congrats! 270yds with a $20 driver is a damn good deal. Enjoy it. Cheers.

1 lucky day probably...will be back to 240 in no time...this is my first 460cc driver...so sweet

If it works , use it. Brand new drivers don’t have a yard more potential. 460 cc, 860 COR is as hot as it gets. No such thing as a fake driver. Brand names don’t hit the ball, that’s why they put them on the bottom.

concur with many above. $20 or $200 does not really make a difference if it achieves results. Drivers do not really lose their effectiveness after even scores of hits. A twenty year old club will hit a ball just as far today as it did when  brand new unless it had some serious damage or was deformed in some way.  Granted "some" of modern day technology has brought improvements or might be more forgiving, but one can get a top of the line club for less than half it's original price as soon  as 3 or 4 years later.  I am just as guilty as any having three drivers without any significant differences. ( of course it is all on me, not the equipment). Just for fun, took my Persimmon driver the other day and got some really nice drives after my normal driver got ornery on me.
